Schools are encouraged to incorporate the project into their curriculum.
Any project that has contributed to the health of our environment can be entered. Projects can range from recycling strategies, waste management, revegetation, climate change, creation of natural habitat - the list is endless.
If your school is unsure which theme to chose the topic of water conservation at home and at school is being encouraged for 2008.
The project does not necessarily have to have a direct physical benefit to the environment. It could, for example, be the collection and collation of data that could aid further research that would in turn benefit the environment.
It is asked that the following questions are answered within your project entry:
Attach any supporting documentation such as photographs, videos, posters, displays, artworks, audio tapes, diagrams or newspaper articles.
